Dialect Notebook

Quotes:

11.   “ If we were to encourage students to experiment with visible features of written texts, we would increase their ability to understand and use hierarchical and classificatory arrangements. “ p. 35

22.  “ A second law of gestalt, that of good continuation, or good figure, suggests that visual perception works to pull figures out of the background, to give them definition against the undistinguished field in which they are located.” P. 39

33. “With a visible text, it my not be fruitful to talk about paragraphs in terms of topic sentences and support, or opening and closing sentences, or sentences of transition” p. 41

44. “ The conclusion seems logical and is not qualified by the authors. And yet an attempt to replicate the study under similar conditions did not find significant gains in in comprehension which could be attributed to visual, semantically-based groupings” p. 42


dAnalysis:
11. This quote confused me a little bit when I first read it. I didn’t understand what Bernhardt meant by hierarchical and classificatory arrangements. I thought it maybe meant that students would be able to better understand harder arrangements of writing and reading. But overall, it still confused me.
22. I completely agree with this law. Visual perception works very well to pull a background out. I feel that is very important when writing to give a good background. 
33. This quote I feel is something we seem to discuss a lot in class. Going out of the norm of writing and writing how you want can sometimes benefit you. Not always following the “right” transition ways is something that I feel can help writers. 
44. I found this quote someone important. This quote also could help me with my project considering I’m writing it on conclusion sentences. Conclusions don’t always need to be in a writing, but the usually help complete the writing so it has a formal ending.
